While the offshoring of production and automation technology have fundamentally transformed the industry, high-skilled manufacturing jobs are essential to a balanced, competitive economy. Today, advanced manufacturing techniques, the growing maker movement, and a renewed national interest in research and development have led to a reinvention of the manufacturing industry. Executive Summary Technology is revolutionizing manufacturing processes through innovations in 3D printing, robotics and big data (the Internet of Things)—often based on innovations that come from California. A range of factors, including rising labor costs in China, are leading some manufacturers to bring production home. California is in a good position to capture much of this growth, but needs policies that support and incentivize investment. Throughout much of the 20th century, the US economy was buoyed by the manufacturing sector, which pro- Major Drivers of Change vided a source of middle-income jobs and drove new Manufacturing is undergoing a major transformation. waves of innovation.

  • An Automotive Insider's Tour of the Tesla Fremont Factory©
    An Automotive Insider’s Tour of the Tesla Fremont Factory© By Jeff Cohen Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to tour many automotive assembly plants. As a child, I saw 1965 Ford Mustangs assembled at the Ford River Rouge factory in Michigan. When I became a General Motors executive and the brand manager of the GMC Jimmy/Envoy, I visited several GM assembly plants, including the now-closed Moraine Assembly in Ohio, which made my brand. My first encounter with the GM Freemont Assembly plant dates back to 1983 when I was a Johnson & Johnson sales representative stationed in San Jose, Calif. Years later, when I became a prospective Model S owner, my attention turned back to the Fremont factory, and on March 1, 2014, I was granted a private tour of the Model S production floor. But before I share the details of my Saturday tour, let’s review a brief history of the Fremont plant so integral to the Tesla story. Fremont, California: three generations of automotive assembly • 1962-1982: General Motors Fremont Assembly Plant General Motors Co. opened the 5 million square foot assembly plant in 1962. Over the next 20 years, Fremont Assembly turned out midsize GMC trucks alongside some of today’s most highly prized muscle cars—the Pontiac GTO, Oldsmobile 4-4-2, Chevrolet Chevelle and the Buick Skylark. Photo source: ultra-high-compression.com Fremont represented the automobile assembly plant organization pioneered by Henry Ford in 1903. This rapidly moving line, where workers added the same part to each vehicle as it came down the line, was not only repetitive and boring but also one of the root causes of the Fremont plant’s well-deserved reputation for poor quality, low morale and high absenteeism.

  • Cobalt Special Report
    Strategic Metals & Rare Earths Letter I N T E R N A T I O N A L the independent information and advisory publication on investing in Strategic Metals & Rare Earths Special Report – October 2017 Growing number of country bans on gas and diesel cars will boost demand for lithium-ion batteries; cobalt recognized as essential component Compared to lithium, cobalt is a shiny, grey, brittle metal that is best known for creating an intense blue color in glass and paints. It is not a rare element even though pure cobalt is not found in nature. Cobalt occurs in conjunction with other elements in such metals as carrollite, a copper-cobalt-(nickel) sulphide; skutterudite, a cobalt- nickel arsenide and asbolane, a nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide. Cobalt is obtained from the following three main types of ore de- posits: (1) Sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits such as those in the Central African copper belt in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia; (2) magmatic nickel sulphide depos- its, such as those found at Sudbury Canada and at Norilsk, Russia; and (3) nickel laterite deposits, which are found in such tropical regions as New Caledonia (overseas territory of France). Cobalt is frequently used in the manufacture of rechargeable batteries and to create alloys that maintain their strength at high temperatures. It is also one of the essential trade elements (or “vitamin micro-nutrients”) that humans and many other living creatures require for good health (essential element in B2). The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) produces roughly 60% of total global cobalt sup- plies estimated at around 100,000 tonnes this year.

Chan School of Public Health, Harvard University, Boston, MA 02215, USA; mfi[email protected] (M.F.); [email protected] (J.D.S.) 2 Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-617-717-4053 Abstract: The Culture of Health framework includes four pillars of societal health and well-being influenced by business, namely: consumers; employees and workers in the supply chain; the community, and the environment. The Auto industry was an ideal crucible in which to explore the interface of public health with business given the confluence of the different domains in this sector. The substantial benefits of mobility, especially for the under-resourced, sit alongside negative impacts from emissions, accidents, products and services. Through interviews with 65 senior executives from seven major automakers, corporate actions reflecting health as a strategic agenda were mapped to the Culture of Health model. While most of the companies did not use the language of health explicitly in their strategy, key examples were present across all four pillars. Given the future of mobility relies on the interface of human experience with technology, it is a population-level challenge demanding system-level changes. Ostensibly, a framework for sustainability, the Culture of Health model could help the Auto industry navigate the disruption caused by the global megatrends and changing societal expectations of business in society and transition successfully to a new mobility economy.
